g.o.d rumored for comeback in March

All five original members of first-generation idol group g.o.d are rumored to be reuniting next March for a commemorative 15th-anniversary album.

“Kim Tae-woo, Son Ho-young, Danny Ahn, Yoon Kye-sang and Park Joon-hyung are currently discussing plans for a potential album and concert in commemoration of their 15th anniversary,” an insider source revealed to a sports magazine on Monday. “But there are a lot of issues to sort through, so there will need to be a great deal of patience.”

The group debuted in 1999 with album “To Mother” and continued its success, churning out hit songs such as “Road,” “Lies” and “Place Where You Need to Be.” g.o.d was one of the first idol groups to sell more than 1 million albums. The band did not officially split up, but naturally disbanded soon after Yoon Kye-sang left the group in 2004.

If rumors for an upcoming album turn out to be true, it will be g.o.d’s first album since their eighth studio album “Into the Sky,” which was released in 2005.
